My wife had the healthy omelette with turkey and mushrooms. We sat at the bar because the place was fairly full and we had no wait.“

My son is super picky when it comes to food and he didn't enjoy his dish. Chicken wasn't very good. I think it was frozen pre cooked chicken. Sodas come in a huge glass which I loved. Over all great experience and great food. Will definitely be back to try other things!“

“Great breakfast place! The service is good from start (wait in the foyer or at the Free Bird Chai coffee place, which is in the same bldg) to finish. Our server was sweet, attentive, and fast, though she had a 6 top and two other tables besides us. The menu is large. My favorite is the Rösti, which my tablemate agreed has the PERFECT ratio of eggs (we ordered them poached) to hashbrowns and other ingredients. Delicious. The waffle... we sent ours back. It was soft and mushy and didn't have those deep pockets I love to see in a waffle. Our most truthful observation was that the free hotel breakfast waffles you get at middle range hotels are better than this one. But the pancakes we got to replace it were chef's kiss! Spongy, eggy, light, able to carry the whipped butter and warm syrup they were served with. Decor was kind of gas station ski cafe. We'll definitely come back here! The Kingsbury location is for some reason closed right now and we haven't tried the Keys location but this Bijou location is quite good.“

“A Heavenly Village gem, The Loft is an intimate and vibey spot for dinner and drinks (which were both fantastic). My fiancé and I popped in to see the magic show featuring legendary magicians, Jinger and Kalin. The show was incredibly impressive and both appropriate and entertaining for young and adult audiences. The theatre layout is perfect for up-close magic and makes the crowd really feel involved in the show. The Loft regularly hosts top tier talent, including Murray the Magician, who we’ve previously seen perform—stellar tricks and comedic timing. Definitely recommend checking The Loft for a fun night out!“

At the time, the owner was selling and opening a new restaurant in South Lake Tahoe near my home, but that fell through, so I was surprised to find him and his son still here.He makes his own fries, which are AMAZING, as is the coleslaw, and I’m a slaw snob.My next door neighbor had the Rueben and loved it. She’ll definitely come back with her family as will I.Please support this family owned business. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Genuinely, I would not have expected the Hilton, where I stayed to have a spot like BMBG. It was a spot that I went to for lunch when I arrived with my friends on the first day of our trip to Tahoe simply because it was convenient. Yet, my whole group kept going back for an after skiing snack and for their pretty impressive drinks. If you are staying in the Hilton, take advantage of having this spot in your hotel. If you are in the area, I'd say it's worth dropping in to try it! Also, go Dale, he is the best!“

“I had a wonderful experience this evening. It is New Year's eve, and I knew they would be reserved all night. Regardless, I called ahead and asked if they could take a 1 top walk-in. They were able to grab a table for me.Due to them being reserved all night, I got a table at the Cocktail Corner. I originally ordered at the bar (as was communicated to me due to the full reservations). Though regardless, Jenna (a bartender), still gave me table service throughout my experience.The oysters were divine, and Jenna even ran next door to their sister restaurant to grab me some crackers for my oysters. The asparagus mushroom ravioli was so unique and delicious (I highly recommend). Lastly, I finished with the Citrus Olive Oil Strawberry Shortcake and was not disappointed.I would highly recommend this establishment, and I will definitely be back.“

I thought I would be walking into a small town sandwich place ( which I also love) but this was a full 5star fine dining experience. Including reading the copy on the menu which was hilarious and entertaining. I suggest the French onion soup but everything we got was so good it makes me want to drive the distance from Reno next time I have out of state friends visit just to come again for dinner. Big yum.“
